By food on train 
Ordering food on train used to be a challenge for Indian railway passengers. Limited pantry options and uncertainty about hygiene often left travelers with no choice but to carry food from home. But with RailRestro, technology has redefined how we order food on train — ensuring freshness, punctuality, and convenience at every step.
The smart technology that powers RailRestro’s seamless train food delivery system.
1. Smart Train Tracking System
One of the biggest hurdles in food delivery on moving trains is their unpredictable schedules. RailRestro uses real-time train tracking to monitor your train’s exact location and ETA. This information is automatically synced with restaurant and delivery teams so that the food is prepared and delivered exactly when your train arrives at the station — even if it’s delayed.
2. Intelligent Station Matching Algorithm
Once you input your PNR or train number, RailRestro’s system suggests multiple stations where your food can be delivered. It uses predictive technology to calculate where your train is likely to reach next, and which restaurants are operational at those stations. This helps passengers choose from a wide variety of dishes without worrying about timing issues.
3. Automated Restaurant Allocation
After the order is placed, RailRestro’s backend tech automatically forwards it to a verified FSSAI-certified restaurant partner located close to the selected station. This system takes into account:
-
Distance from the station
-
Kitchen prep time
-
Type of food ordered
-
Train’s running status
This tech ensures food is always prepared fresh and delivered hot on time.
4. Live Order Tracking and Notifications
Passengers receive real-time updates through SMS, email, or WhatsApp about:
-
Order confirmation
-
Food preparation
-
Delivery agent location
-
Time of arrival at station
This transparency allows customers to stay informed without needing to contact support.
5. WhatsApp Chatbot Ordering
RailRestro recently introduced the ability to order food on train via WhatsApp. This AI-powered chatbot guides users through a simple step-by-step order process — from sharing PNR to browsing menus and making payments — all without downloading an app.
6. Secure and Flexible Payments
From UPI and debit cards to Cash on Delivery (COD), RailRestro’s payment gateway supports a wide range of safe and secure payment options, ensuring passenger convenience and trust.
